Does health insurance depend on work hours for elected officials? That’s the question before the Indiana Supreme Court, which heard arguments in a Perry County case that could impact officials statewide.
The case started when Perry County commissioners ended health insurance for certain part-time employees in June 2023.
County councilman Keith Huck, who works around nine hours a month, sued and sought an injunction to keep his coverage.
A local judge granted Huck’s injunction, but the Indiana Court of Appeals reversed the decision.
The appeal to the Indiana Supreme Court is interlocutory, meaning it’s happening while the case continues.

I’m for taking ALL benefits from elected public officials. Regular employees not so much. take their insurance, pension, and any other perk paid for by taxpayers. We need to stop people from running for office just to get these perks.
He should be put to death if convicted immediately.We the taxpayers are tired of supporting these people in prison on a 30 year long appeal process
We have to stop giving everything to everybody.china and Russia as well as Iran are all laughing at how stupid our government has become
Work 9 hours a month and get free health care? Sounds like a cry baby.
